Hello everyone!
I would love to say that I am the happiest person right now, but I truly am pretty sad. I am being transferred to Pombal, a city in the middle of nowhere tomorrow. I am happy about the new change, but really sad to leave my area. Let me tell you why-
Last night I went to the church for a meeting. I said goodbye to some people and then when we entered into the meeting `Surpriseeeeeee!!` It wasn’t a meeting at all! So many members were there to say goodbye and thank me for everything, which is silly because I needed to be thanking them. But I felt so loved. I have to admit that I started to cry the moment I walked in. So many people were there, and they have little gifts for me. I felt so special and very loved. I couldn’t believe that they had done this for me. I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve these people here. To know that even though it appeared like I didn’t have much success in Mangabeira, I was able to help the members love one another. I believe this area will change dramatically as they show this love to others. Most of the credit for this actually goes to my companion! But I felt truly loved. I will send pictures next week.
On Monday I will tell you all more and send pictures.
Love ya´ll!
Sister Gordon
